This is just a short post about the best Christmas present I have gotten (I know it’s a bit late to talk about Christmas -that or incredibly early).
A really great friend gave me this book called “The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master”, by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas and it has been my salvation.
I think any developer should read this book at least once. It’s a book that is not technical, it’s not going to make you better at [insert programming language here], but it is going to make you a better programmer. Even if you’re just someone working with people who write code, you should give it a quick read. It talks about a lot of common problems in the industry and ultimately empowers you to become better at what you do.
I’m not even sure anyone is reading this, but I’ll pretend someone is. If you’re that someone: thank you, you’re awesome. Now go and get reading.
Have a great week!
